Is it possible to create a tag/ field that keeps track of the date a file was last synced to a hand held, similar to the stock tag "Last Played"?  What would the logic look like?

[macdonjh]

I'd like to renew my request that the "Last Played" tag be editable by the user (at least, I cannot enter a date in that tag).  Or, can another tag for "Last Synced" be created?

I'd like to use that as a rule for Smartlists for syncing my portables: "only songs which haven't been played or synced within the past X days".

Good idea in my opinion.

Coming to MC27:
NEW: Added the library field "Last Sync" that gets set when a file is synced to a handheld.

Thanks again.

Excellent.  Thank you, Matt.  I started looking through the New and Corrections list for MC27, but got tired of reading before I saw that.  I guess I'll have to update to MC27 now.

I just wanted to thank those on the MC Mac team for adding the new Last Sync tag.  I just upgraded to MC27, updated my library and revised my relevant SmartLists to take advantage of the new feature.  I may not have been the only one to request it, but I did request it, so thank you.

I think the new tag will help minimize the time it takes me to create "juke box" SmartLists with songs I haven't heard in a period of time.  I don't want to hear the same songs over and over.  If I wanted that I'd only have three albums in my library.
